This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Shewed strength (ἐποίησεν)
Lit., made strength. So Wyc., made might. A Hebrew form of expression. Compare Psalms 118:15, Sept.: “The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly” (ἐποίησε δύναμιν, made strength).
In the imagination (διανοίᾳ)
The faculty of thought, understanding, especially moral understanding. Wyc. refers the word here to God: with mind of his heart. Some prefer to render “by the imagination,” thus making the proud the instrument of their own destruction. Compare 2Co 10:5.
